Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 24: Amulon, the leader of the Lamanites persecutes Alma and his people. The Lamanites put heavy burdens on Alma and his people and threaten to kill them if they pray to God. God makes their burdens light and causes a deep sleep to come upon the Lamanites, so that they can leave in the middle of the night and go to the land of Zarahemla, where they will be free from bondage.
Chapter 25: The people of the land of Zarahemla (the mulekites) become nehpites and are converted and baptized because of the word that Alma brought to them. King Mosiah allows that churches of God be established throughout the land.
Chapter 26: Just like today, many of the members of the churches that Alma had established, begin to fall away, they start to sin and disbelieve the words that had been spoken. In order to be forgiven of your sins, you must confess your sins to a church authority and ask God for repentance.
If you want to repent and be free from sin, you must also forgive other people of their trespasses. (Mosiah 26:31)
Chapter 27: King Mosiah decides that there is too much persecution between the believers and nonbelievers and commands that there be peace in the land. Alma the younger (not Alma), persecutes the church and is visited by an angel who commands him to stop persecuting the church. Alma is struck dumb and prays for several days before receiving strength in his limbs. Alma the younger repents of his sins and Alma the younger and the four sons of King Mosiah go throughout the land preaching the word of God.
